Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Kickoff Party with the Powell Library at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 22 at the Heart Mountain Hall meeting room at the Park County Fairgrounds.
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children with essential early literacy skills.
Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is being read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an early age can help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. Most importantly, sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of books and reading.
The program is available to all families with children between the ages of birth and 5 years. This program is free of charge and there is no need to sign up to attend the kickoff party. For more information, call the Powell Library at 307-754-8828.
